<p>[QUOTE="justafarmer, post: 931193, member: 3926"]Generally speaking obverse and reverse working die pairs are not permanently married. This being the case a reverse working die is often paired with a multiple of different obverse working dies and vice versa. The mint mark on the Lincoln Cent is a design device located on the obverse working die. More than likely other obverse working dies with different mint mark locations were also paired with a specific reverse variety. Even if all working die marriages for a specific reverse variety are documented more than likely each of the obverse working dies in these marriages were paired with other reverse working dies in coin production. Therefore location of a single specific mint mark should only be used for establishing die state and additional verification of a reverse variety when attributing Lincoln Cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
